Chapter 1606: The Little Stepmother's Shocking Secret
Flying Speed Chinese.
Shi Youxuan readily agreed: "Giving you the Villa is no problem, but the property deed isn't at home; it's mortgaged at the bank. As long as you agree, we can go handle the transfer procedures right now. The house will be yours, but you must also pay off the loan the house is mortgaged for."
"On what grounds? No way!"
This woman was insatiably greedy, wanting only to take advantage and unwilling to suffer the slightest loss.
She spread her hands: "This won't do, that won't do, what do you want to do then?"
"I don't believe your family doesn't have a cent! You've been doing business for so many years; who would believe you haven't even saved any private money? Anyway, I don't care about the outside debts, the bride price must be given to us. Lu Feifei has been eating and drinking on my dime for so many years; I can't raise her for nothing..."
Encountering someone who pestered and nagged like this was very headache-inducing.
Can't die, can't afford to live, nothing works.
Shi Youxuan said to her: "Our family really has no money. How about this, you take whatever you fancy, keep taking until you're satisfied."
The little stepmother: "Give me the Villa you have in the city center, but I don't want the debts..."
Before she finished speaking, a village woman leaned over the wall and shouted inside: "A little boy is lost, he says he came to visit your house, do you know him?"
"That's my son."
"Xiao Hu!"
Only then did the Lu Family couple realize their son was missing, and the two hurriedly ran out.
Shi Youxuan and her husband looked at each other and followed.
The center of the village.
A man was dragging a little boy, asking him questions. The little boy was crying hard, his face smeared with snot and tears, struggling with all his might to break free from the man's hand, but he couldn't get away.
Lu Father went over to collect his son.
"Let go, release him, did you hear me?"
The two men locked eyes, and Lu Father froze.
What was going on?
The son looked exactly like the man in front of him!
He didn't look like him, yet he looked exactly like this stranger?
The answer was ready to emerge; although it was hard to accept, he already knew the truth in his heart.
When the son was little, they had looked in the mirror together, and he had jokingly asked his wife: "Why doesn't my son look like me?"
At the time, his wife's reaction had been intense, grabbing him and throwing a tantrum, demanding he explain himself—did he have a wandering heart?
Or had he listened to someone's nonsense?
She also said, what could you tell from such a small child?
He would naturally look like him when he grew up.
Later, as the child grew older, he still didn't look like him.
But his wife said boys look like their mothers, and she looked like that when she was little.
So he believed it, until this man appeared!
When the little stepmother saw this man, her face turned pale instantly.
She covered her face and pulled her son to leave: "Come with Mom, we're going home."
"Wait a minute, are you... that woman from a few years ago?"
The man didn't even remember her name, yet he recognized that he knew this woman, and his expression was complex; anyone with experience could tell at a glance that the relationship between these two was far from simple!
The little stepmother replied quickly: "No, you've recognized the wrong person."
She tried to leave, but didn't succeed.
The man was very fast; he stepped forward, grabbed her wrist, and asked quickly: "Is the child mine?"
"No, are you crazy? I don't even know who you are..."
Now it was getting lively.
The crowd was in an uproar. The villagers didn't like to whisper when watching the excitement; they talked loudly.
"The child definitely wasn't born by his father."
"Exactly, it must be the seed of some wild man, they look exactly the same..."
"Tsk tsk! This man is truly pitiful, he's wearing a green hat and doesn't even know it!"
Every word the people said pierced his heart!
No man could endure this, and Lu Father couldn't accept it either.
"What is going on here, speak!"
He was furious, roaring as he yanked his wife over, forcing her to face the man.
"What's going on with you two? Whose child is this, really?"
"Nothing... is going on, I don't know him!" She denied it flatly.
You couldn't admit to this kind of thing; regardless of whether it was true or false, not admitting it was the right thing to do.
But as soon as the man opened his mouth, he exposed her lie directly: "I know you. We met at a nightclub four or five years ago. I even went to your house; your house is at Bishui Residential Quarter on Xiangjiang Road. When I went, your husband was away on a business trip..."
"Bullshit, shut your mouth!"
The man didn't shut his mouth, continuing: "Later, our affair was discovered by your stepdaughter, and you were afraid the matter would be exposed, so you didn't let me come anymore. But I didn't expect you to actually give birth to our child..."
"Thud!"
She fell straight backward and fainted.
Whether it was a real faint or a fake one, only she herself knew.
The scene was in chaos. The villagers were simple and kind-hearted; seeing her faint, they scrambled to carry her to a flat spot, some pinching her philtrum, others looking for a doctor...
There were two highly skilled doctors at the village Medical Room, but unfortunately, neither was there today as they had gone to the next village for house calls; only a former barefoot doctor was present, so the villagers brought him over.
Although the barefoot doctor was not a graduate of a formal medical school, he had very rich clinical experience.
He had someone fetch cold water, took a deep gulp, and then sprayed it all over the patient's face!
He had eaten chive pockets that morning and hadn't brushed his teeth after the meal, so that smell... "Cough, cough!" The woman frowned and coughed twice, then sat up and couldn't help but retch!
"Ugh!"
"Ugh!"
Good heavens, what is this smell!
She really couldn't keep up the act anymore.
The villagers didn't care about that; seeing that she had woken up, they began to accuse her one after another.
"Pah! Shameless, having a child with another man behind your husband's back and even pretending it's your husband's child; a woman like you should be drowned in a pig cage."
"Your husband doesn't want you anymore."
"The wild man doesn't want you either; they have both left."
"This woman doesn't look like a good person at all, dressed so seductively..."
"Whoever marries her is in for bad luck!"
Besides the cacophony of insults, there was also the sound of a child crying.
Her son rushed over, hugging her and crying: "Mommy, Mommy, Daddy doesn't want me anymore, he pushed me..."
She really wanted to faint again.
But fainting was useless; the sky had been torn open, and she had to find a way to remedy it quickly.
She climbed up from the ground, grabbed her son, and left in a hurry.
They didn't go back to the Sheng Family; although the car was parked outside the courtyard, her husband must have driven it away and wouldn't have waited for them.
The mother and son left in quite a sorry state.
The child had short legs and walked slowly, so the woman picked him up and ran, not even noticing when one of her Spring Shoes fell off...
Sheng Hanyu and Shi Youxuan stood in the shade of a tree, watching the mother and son run far away before they went back.
After arriving home.
Sheng Hanyu said: "We can bring the furniture back home now; honestly, because of these people, I haven't been able to use my things comfortably these past few days."
Shi Youxuan smiled and said: "Although it was troublesome for a few days, it's worth it to be rid of them once and for all."
"She will have her hands full for a while and won't have time to come and cause us trouble; in the future... she won't even have the qualifications to come and cause us trouble."
Sheng Hanyu gave a cryptic smile: "People, if they don't court death, they won't die."
Wang Yinghao listened to her son and daughter-in-law talking, as if they were speaking in riddles.
